"Broken Seconds"

Today was the last day of filming of "Broken Seconds" and let me tell you it was intense!! First Todd (my husband in real life and in the film) and I did all the scenes with Walt (who played our son Dylan). It was fun again to work with him again. He did really good for a 8 yr old and his first film. Then it was on to some scenes where they were just filming my face for an opening shot and I was to look like I was thinking about what I was about to do. I hope I pulled it off (fingers-crossed). Then it was another scene where I was struggling with the decision I was about to make and carry out. So emotionally I was up when doing scenes with Walt and then I had to dig and find sadness and struggle with-in myself and portray it while looking real. Then was the very last scene of shooting for "Broken Seconds" and it was definitely the most emotion driven one that I have done so far. It was a fight scene between Todd and myself. The director (Mohammad, the DP (Matt), and even Todd was surprised how far I dug into that scene. It to me was very intense and one of my favorites. I really pushed myself to the extent of my emotions and it was awesome. It will premiere at UNT but will be put in to the Angelik here in Dallas for several showings. Then I have been told that it will be headed to San Fransisco and Austin for Festivals. Also Mohammad will be submitting it to Sundance, Tribeca, and Dabi. And all other festivals that he can find. We are going to take the festival world by storm with this film. Tip for today came from working on set today. And it has to do with wardrobe. Always bring all clothes that you have worn on film and others just in case something needs to be re-shoot or something. Even if someone tells you don't need anything else ALWAYS BRING JUST IN CASE!! So that is my tip for the day. Checked the usual spots for more projects and found a couple different things. Nothing local but did find several feature films that I am submitting for (HILLBILLY HIGHWAY, BLACK MAGICK, PREMIUM RUSH, AND HELP SPREAD ME GOODNESS). We will see what happens with these, also found out there is a search for new actors that will be Lead in a feature film (called PROJECT X). Not a lot to go on but I will be submitting to that one along with the others. Looking forward to many more projects coming my way and always looking to were I am headed. I have this deep desire to succeed in my venture as an actress, it feels like this is what I am to do and what I was meant for. So I am not stopping or slowing down in my pursuit of this dream. So for now we will see what tomorrow brings.
